Seems like people come back here every year, cloudcroft is a destination where families meet up during the holidays. Not a great place if you're planning on having a couple beers and driving back to town, it's on a twisted mountain road.

A very busy brewery and restaurant. They don't serve very much food, their menu was one page. I…read morethink that means they focus more on the beers they offer. We showed up early so we could play games in their brewery area as we wait but they told us we couldn't do that because we had a newborn. (Kinda dumb in my opinion, the kids had to wait outside in the cold, but I get the law). We were already on the waiting list for a table so we didn't have to wait that much longer. Our waitress was kind & fast. We ordered 4 pizzas and I tried two of them. I don't really recommend the pizza; the Greek one tasted odd, had too much pesto, and the Margarita one had way too much cheese & burnt the basil. But my family liked the other two, the Corey & the sweet & salty pizza. My sister who lives in New Mexico made it seem like this was the hopping place to be, which explained why it was so busy for a small town. We brought some games to play but since we were taking up a table for others we didn't play very long. Just enough to finish the pizza. My sister definitely recommends this place!

The service was slow and lacking, and the staff seemed disinterested. We asked for a veggie recommendation, and the server said she does not eat meat, which did not make sense since we were ordering vegetarian options. The thin crust pizza was very tasty and I thoroughly enjoyed it, especially the crispy edges. The Chicago style deep dish was not very good and did not have any chicken in it. The price was very reasonable as well.

As a connoisseur of fine pizza that's travelled considerably for the scrumptious Italian pie: Che Palle is offering one of the strongest crust situations in the region. I'm talking the entire Southwest region of not spanning farther. The crust is clearly a well-fermented and intentionally designed wonder. It has the perfect bite of crunch and chewiness that you'd expect to find in NYC or even New Haven CT. It's the perfect vehicle for the tangy sauce and generous toppings... I can't wait to try the sandwiches here. The pizza was so good that it didn't even survive the ride back up to Alto. 2 pizzas were devoured on the ride home.

The place was packed when we arrived, but gratefully time was on our side and we were able to be seated promptly without a wait. They have a walk up counter outside where you can place to-go orders. Just come back in 15 minutes after ordering (they won't call ya). Looks simple, divey and well loved and the crowds are the proof! We ordered jumbo pizzas and a couple of cheese slices for my 10-year old. The slices are huge, definitely only need 1 for a kiddo. We didn't know lol. Slices are giving New York, so fold in half and bite. If you have toddlers that typically eat 1 slice, I would even say order 1 slice to cut in half. Mom of 5 here ‍...you're welcome lol. Lemonade was fresh squeezed, sweetened, but naturally on the tart side. My kids weren't a fan, but I thought it was excellent! They don't know what's up. But if you have kids, maybe yours won't like it either lol. I enjoy Gingerale but usually don't get it because most brands contain high fructose corn syrup amongst other junk. I was unaware of the Boylan brand until today! Enjoyed it very much with our meal. Was light and refreshing. We'll look for it elsewhere now. I like gourmet pizza and my husband doesn't. This was a good middle. "Not too gourmet" he says. I say it's a step above the major chains. Thin crust and lighter without all the bloat to follow, but still a little greasy lol. Take that as you may! Highly recommend this stop for pizza lovers. We'd come back! Staff was attentive though the place was and seems constantly busy. When I hear cafe I don't think pizza, but now I just might lol. No complaints!

We tried a kale soup with sausage, it tasted healthy, if you know what I mean. The pizza also tasted healthy, despite being full of meats. I wonder if I misread the menu and this is a vegan place, or a health store. The place looks a little bit like a ski shop. Our waitress was nice but other random staff members were nicer. At some point, a podcast started playing and replaced the emo/skater playlist. This place is weird. I think this is a thin crust pizza town...

Now before you roll your eyes... yes, I'm from Cali... and yes I know more about pizza than anybody else... just kidding... kinda. The place looked real clean inside and the staff was super friendly. Everyone seemed in a good mood and the vibe was laid back... which I appreciate. We got a medium "Special" and a large pepperoni. The special had green chile, mushrooms, black olives and pepperoni. Not gonna lie... it hit the spot. Cheese was gooey, toppings were solid and everything came out hot. The large pepperoni was decent too... but I felt like it needed a little something extra. Maybe a pinch of black pepper or some kind of spice to wake it up a bit. Just felt like it was playing it safe. Now the crust... that's the only real downside. It wasn't bad... just a little tougher than I prefer. I like a crust that fights back a little... not one that wins the fight. Their Dion's ranch though... that stuff deserves its own review. If you like ranch you're gonna wanna dip everything in it... including your keys. It's that good. All in all this was a good experience. I'd come back again. No major complaints. Good food. Good service. Good vibes. I think most folks will enjoy it even more than I did. --Kevin from Cali... pizza snob in recovery
